January 6th Committee interviews driver of SUV that Donald Trump demanded take him to the Capitol
.
The U.S. House Select Committee on the January 6 Attack has interviewed the driver of Donald Trump‘s presidential vehicle, presumably a Secret Service agent who was present when the then-president allegedly lunged at the steering wheel after the agent refused to take him to the Capitol.
During his speech on January 6, 2021, barely hours before they attacked, Trump had directed his supporters to march “to the Capitol,” promising, “and I’ll be there with you.”
Trump reportedly knew some of his supporters were armed.
According to a top aide to White House Chief of Staff Mark Meadows, Trump was desperate to be taken to the Capitol, but citing security reasons the driver refused.
“I’m the effing president, take me up to the Capitol now,” Cassidy Hutchinson, Meadow’s aide, testified she was told Trump had said, during a public televised hearing of the Select Committee in June.
